Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 1999

A Japanese free homepage service for i-mode phones and the web, later a home for cell-phone novels, run by TOS and later Kadokawa.

Launched in 1999, it became known as a pioneer of the cell-phone novel: Mika's Koizora was posted there in instalments, drew about 20 million readers, sold over two million copies in print and became a 2007 film.

In 1999: Released by the software firm TOS as a free homepage builder for i-mode phones and the internet; a diary feature arrived on 17 December.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
